The story of the rise of the Rothschild financial empire founded by Mayer Rothschild and continued by his five sons. From humble beginnings the business grows and helps to finance the war against Napoleon, but it's not always easy, especially because of the prejudices against Jews.

Doesn’t seem as Anti Semitism as others stated but at least a bit interesting, though if you forget they will remind you every minute that the Rothschilds are in fact Jewish.
